Answer:
10.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the blocks are square, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal distance.
d² = 9² +5² = 81 +25 = 106
d = √106 ≈ 10.3
Jennifer is about 10.3 blocks from home.
Let's identify what we are looking for in terms of variables. Sandwiches are s and coffee is c. Casey buys 3 sandwiches, which is represented then by 3s, and 5 cups of coffee, which is represented by 5c. Those all put together on one bill comes to 26. So Casey's equation for his purchases is 3s + 5c = 26. Eric buys 4 sandwiches, 4s, and 2 cups of coffee, 2c, and his total purchase was 23. Eric's equation for his purchases then is 4s + 2c = 23. In order to solve for c, the cost of a cup of coffee, we need to multiply both of those bolded equations by some factor to eliminate the s's. The coefficients on the s terms are 4 and 3. 4 and 3 both go into 12 evenly, so we will multiply the first bolded equation by 4 and the second one by -3 so the s terms cancel out. 4[3s + 5c = 26] means that 12s + 20c = 104. Multiplying the second bolded equation by -3: -3[4s + 2c = 23] means that -12s - 6c = -69. The s terms cancel because 12s - 12s = 0s. We are left with a system of equations that just contain one unknown now, which is c, what we are looking to solve for. 20c = 104 and -6c = -69. Adding those together by the method of elimination (which is what we've been doing all this time), 14c = 35. That means that c = 2.5 and a cup of coffee is $2.50. There you go!
Answer:
A.10
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponent is a number or letter written above and to the right of a mathematical expression called the base.
x is the base and n is the exponent or power. Definition: If x is a positive number and n is its exponent, then xn means x is multiplied by itself n times.
Answer:
37 & 67
Step-by-step explanation:
11 & 33
42 & 56
- 42 - 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
- 56 - 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56
- Both 42 and 56 are composite numbers
- 42 & 56 is incorrect
37 & 67
- 37 - 1, 37
- 67 - 1, 67
- Both 37 and 67 are prime numbers
- 37 & 56 is correct
57 & 97
- 57 - 1, 3, 19, 57
- 97 - 1, 97
- 57 is a composite number, 97 is a prime number
- 57 & 97 is incorrect
